"That dirty redskin caught me a clump on the coco from behind, and then a whole lot of Indians jumped on me. See, there's the lump." He felt tenderly of the crown of his head, but made no advance to enable his friends to verify his claim; it was too sore for that. "I just dropped. When I came round, the rifles were gone." "You saw the Indian?" "Sure I saw him."
By boiling this juice, it is converted into honey; and, when purified, it becomes sugar; and may likewise be made into wine and vinegar. The fruit of this tree is called Coco. The rind roasted, crushed, and applied to sores or wounds, has a most healing quality. The juice of the roots and tops, mixed with incense, is a sovereign antidote against the bite of a viper and other poisons.
A few minutes later, a magnificent equipage, driven by an elegant gentleman and drawn by two light bays, entered the courtyard of the big farm. "Does Madame Etienne live here, please?" he asked Petit-Jacques, who was busy grooming Coco. "Yes, sir." "Will you kindly give her this card and ask if she will see me?" "Certainly, sir, at once."

"What are you trying to do?" demanded Jack. "Not a thing," was the reply. "Say, but we'll get a nice soak if we remain here." "You'll get a nice soak on the coco, if you don't stop pulling me around," came back from Jack.
The houses, or cabins, were surrounded by clusters of coco palms and growths of bananas, and a long curve of white beach, sheltered from the large Atlantic breakers that burst and exploded upon an outer bar, was drawn like a necklace around the semi-circle of emerald-green water.
A late lava river passed through the magnificent forest on the southerly slope, and the impressions of the stems of coco and fan palms are stamped clearly on the smooth rock. The rainfall in Kona is heavy, but there is no standing water, and only one stream in a distance of 100 miles. This district is famous for oranges, coffee, pineapples, and silence.
Say, who do youse t'ink I nearly bumped me coco ag'in out in de corridor? Why, old man McEachern, de cop. Dat's right!" "Yes?" "Sure. Say, what's he doin' on dis beat?
